To ask the Secretary of State for Health when she will publish the report of the social services inspectorate's investigation of Durham county council's inquiries into allegations of injuries to children accommodated in Aycliffe children's home.

We have today published this report. Copies will be placed in the Library. The report makes a number of recommendations about the management of Aycliffe and the care of the children which Durham county council will be addressing as a matter of urgency. The chief inspector of the social services inspectorate will monitor developments closely and give advice and guidance where appropriate.
